1. A system for transcribing spoken words to text, the system comprising:

  • an audio transducer that receives the spoken words and generates speech signals corresponding thereto;

    a user interface through which a user can receive and send signals;

    at least one data structure containing word data correlating text representations of words to speech signals wherein the at least one data structure includes dialect parameter data that can be used to recognize selected dialects corresponding to selected users;

    a processor that receives the speech signals from the audio transducer wherein the processor compares the speech signals to the word data in the at least one data structure to produce text representations corresponding to the spoken words and wherein the processor initially sends signals to the user via the user interface asking the user questions indicative of the user'"'"'s dialect to thereby induce the user to provide answer signals to the processor that are indicative of dialect parameters and wherein the processor compares the dialect parameters from the user to the dialect parameter data in the at least one data structure to determine a dialect corresponding to the user prior to comparing the speech signals to the word data in the at least one data structure to produce text representations corresponding to the spoken words.
